Compensation Approach
Representatives are paid a base salary and can earn additional compensation based on how they help you.
Base Pay
+
Variable Compensation - OR -
Annual Bonus
Base pay All Fidelity representatives receive base pay based on their experience and role.
Base pay may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in cost of living, role, responsibilities, and other factors. Some representatives are also eligible for additional annual increases to their base pay as determined by their manager for meeting or exceeding role expectations, developing job-related skills, or to align their base pay in relation to that of their peers.
In addition to base pay, representatives can be eligible to receive either:
Variable Compensation Variable compensation is based on one or more factors for a particular role. Additional details are provided in this document.
- Or -
Annual Bonus The annual bonus is a percentage of base salary, determined through a manager assessment which takes into consideration the representative's performance related to client and organizational business objectives.
Certain Fidelity representatives are also eligible to receive longer term compensation based on individual achievements, business unit performance, and overall company success. This compensation is not based on specific products or services.
A number of Fidelity representatives receive a base salary plus bonus. These representatives include Wealth Management Advisors, Wealth Management Senior Portfolio Consultants, Wealth Planners, various Regional Consultants, Branch Financial Consultant I, various Retirement Planners, VP Executive Planning, Workplace Planning Consultant and various Family Office Relationship Managers, Investment Directors and Investment Analysts.
These representatives can earn annual bonuses for overall performance and specific accomplishments during the year. Bonus payouts reflect a representative's attainment of preestablished objectives and other relevant factors (e.g., engagement of clients, activities, and professional development).

Variable Compensation and Conflicts of Interest
We disclose potential conflicts of interest, and we train and supervise our representatives to work in your best interest.
Most Fidelity representatives are eligible to receive some amount of variable compensation in addition to their base pay. As described in this document, some roles receive variable compensation that is impacted by the type of product or service that is selected by a client.
Representatives, however, earn the same compensation whether a client purchases a Fidelity product or service, or a third-party product sold through us.
In general, products and services that require more time to engage with a client or that are more complex provide greater compensation to a representative.
These compensation differentials recognize the relative time required to engage with a client when discussing more complex products and services that require more time to become proficient or receive
additional licensing (e.g., purchase of insurance products or investment advisory services as compared to a money market fund).
Although we believe that it is fair to vary the compensation received by our representatives based on the time and complexity involved with the sale of products, this compensation structure creates a financial incentive for representatives to recommend certain products and services over others.
We address these conflicts of interest by training and supervising our representatives to make recommendations that are in a client's best interest and by disclosing these conflicts so that you can consider them when making your financial decisions.

Client Planning & Investments
Part of your Financial Consultant's compensation is based on the assets you transfer to Fidelity and on the type of investments you choose.
We want our representatives to help clients accomplish their financial goals by offering products and services that are in a client's best interest based on their needs and objectives.
Client Planning & Investments compensation reflects the portion of our representatives' variable compensation that relates to working with clients to transfer assets to Fidelity (except for transfers from employersponsored plans), as well as compensation related to investments made by a client.
Products and services are grouped into categories, and compensation varies based on the relative time and complexity generally involved in helping clients make their investment decisions.
While compensation is not received for transfers from an employer-sponsored plan (e.g., 401(k)), compensation will be paid on the investment of assets transferred from an employersponsored plan. Client Planning & Investments compensation is subject to quarterly and annual limits.
